Following an onboard bomb threat, an Air India flight from Phuket, Thailand, to New Delhi, the capital of India, made an emergency landing on the island on Friday, according to airport officials.
According to an Airports of Thailand official, all 156 passengers on flight AI 379 had been taken out of the aircraft in accordance with emergency protocols.
According to flight tracker Flightradar24, the plane took off from Phuket airport on Friday at 9.30 am (0230 GMT) with the intention of reaching the Indian capital, but it made a large circle in the Andaman Sea and landed back on the southern Thai island.
The incident comes after an Air India flight crashed in Ahmedabad on Thursday just after takeoff, killing over 240 people.
